Community Gathering at River Run Farm

May 19, 2023 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm

“I feel as though we’re uncovering this amazing gem,” Ms. Iredale says of the River Run site. “By removing invasive plants, this beautiful oxbow in the Housatonic will once again nurture wildlife. With the help of the chickens and lambs, this once-rich bottom soil will be brought back to life. The house will be renovated into a bright, relaxing refuge: a farmhouse, easy to maintain with essentials like a mudroom, and also a home that enhances the daily lives of those who farm.”

  • Tour of the 79-acre site, demonstrating its potential for local food production and farmer housing.
  • Remarks by: lead donor Jane Iredale, farmers Molly Comstock and Elizabeth Keen, future steward Anna Houston of Off the Shelf Farm, and a welcome by Trustee Sarah Downie.
  • Refreshments, community gathering, and a commemorative tree planting.
DATE: Friday, May 19th
TIME: 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM
LOCATION: River Run Farm, 200 North Plain Road, Great Barrington
